For instance, the taxpayer uses the 2004 purchase price, but the spouse uses all improvement costs from 2015-2022 as Cost of the Home. Taxpayer uses house for 25% of independent contractor/property management and spouse uses house for 100% of independent/accounting service. Or do we both have to use the same method of recording the Asset?

You must both use the same cost basis for the home when depreciating a qualified home office.
Keep in mind that it is not possible to claim 100% of a home as a qualified home office unless the business claiming the use of the home is a daycare. Even then, if there is a second home office for another business, that portion of the home must be exclusive to that business. So the daycare use would be less than 100% in that example.
Two businesses claiming home office space in the same home cannot have overlapping space or the offices would not meet the qualifications.
